fidipidi, aside from being a portmanteau of serendipity and Pheidippides, is a Facebook application that allows you to create real-world greeting cards that get sent through the U.S. Postal Service for delivery to real human beings. Think of it like all those e-card services that were so popular about a decade ago, except that the card gets delivered to the recipients actual mailbox instead of their email inbox. Looks fun, and easy to use.
The first 15,000 people to sign up for fidipidi can use the code 1stCardFree to get their first card created and sent for free!
For a variety of silly reasons I don’t really use Facebook, let alone any Facebook apps, so I can’t provide a real testimonial here. If Facebook is your kind of thing, this might be a good app to try.

For some odd reason Slashgear has been using the term smartbook in their posts, a portmanteau that is, arguably, about as descriptive as “sandwichbacon” or “cleverob/gyn” in that it conflates two terms in with the suggestion that other members of its own classification are not equally sandwich-oriented, clever, or smart. While we will forgive them this slip, they just got a fax from the law firm in Germany tasked with protecting this term in the market.
Seriously, Smartbook AG: nobody gives two piffles about the smartbook name. It won’t catch on and your legal wrangling just puts a bad taste in people’s mouths when they hear about it. If I were you I’d pack it up. All this makes you look like foolishponces.
First, let us just acknowledge that “Hamtrack” is the best portmanteau of the year so far. Now, on to the products. I think you can see from the picture exactly how this utterly-genius pet toy works. Like a hamster ball but with wheels. I’m afraid the Critter Cruiser is unidirectional and thus a little limited, but the Hamtrack could be, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating here, the greatest hamster accessory of all time.
Putting down tracks for the hamster-car to go down, are you kidding me? That’s so awesome I feel like going out and buying a hamster right now just to see it fly around my apartment in this thing. I’m sure people have DIYed habitrail-esque things like this before, but they didn’t have a pink sports car to go with it. Can you imagine that thing flying around under your desk all day? Madness!
